Cuddle up to your jellyfish, because this week’s we’re talking about Seven Pounds. Just two years after being nominated for The Pursuit of Happyness, we thought that Will Smith’s reteaming with director Gabriele Muccino could maybe bring the Oscar that has eluded him since first being nominated for Ali. But that was before we realized what this movie actually was, let alone how painfully bad it is.

Scattered among the sacrificial flesh of the film’s thwarted Oscar dreams, we discuss Will Smith’s Oscar trajectory, Rosario Dawson’s underrated career, and the many ways this bonkers movie grinds our gears. We also take a look at 2008’s whirlwind tour to Kate Winslet’s Best Actress win and the full insanity and ramifications of how the film withholds its twist. And of course, we don’t forget to notice the collateral beauty around us.
